Midwifery student [1] Sarah Billington talks about the support she's receiving because of ill health. Sarah [3] says: "I had been juggling an existing hospital job with my university course and in hindsight I feel perhaps the stress of doing too much may have contributed to my health problems."

And physiotherapy student [2] Heather Beebe talks about her dyslexia diagnosis and the support she's receiving. Heather [4] says: "It was a talk by the university disability adviser that spurred me on to seek help from the university, because he made it sound as if it was ok to have a problem and that support was available."

Read Sarah [3] and Heather [4]'s stories.
